IMPROVEMENT III TEMPLES FCE Looms.

TO ALL PERSONS TGJWHQM' THESE PRESENTS MAY2 GQM'E:

Be it known that I, LUG'WS-BRIGGS, of Grosvenor Dale, in tl1e eounty of Windham, and State of Connecticut, have invented a nen-.and'useful Improvement in Roller-Temples for Looms; and I do hereby declare the same to be fully described-sin the following-specification, and represented in the accompanying drawings. of which- Y l Figure l is a top view, and

Figure 2 a longitudinal section of one of my improved tem'ples, the plane of section being along the axis lof the'centre-pin of the roller. i v y i In such drawings, A denotes the-toothed roller; B, the trough; C, the cap; D, the holding-plate; and E, the centre-pin, such being parts of a emmdn roller-temple, asu-ally known ast-he Dutcher roller-temple.

The object of myfimprovement is te enable the rubbing-surfaces of the roller and its centre-pin to be easily oiled, as occasion may require. i i

For this purpose, I forni thelcentrepin with a passage, a, es tending fronrr near its outer end to orltowzn-ls the middle of the pin, and opening through one side of the p in'fat or near such middle, I extend the head, b,

of thepin beyond the head o r'abutmencl, of the trough, and I make in the said extension a hole, al, to lead down into the passage a. t i

By pouring a small amount' of oil inte the -hole d, it will run through the passage'a, and be discharged out of its educt and upon the eontiguous bearing-surfac-es of the roller and the centre-pin, and thus, at any time,

th-e said surfaces may bhe lubricated without the oil getting upon the cloth while passing through the temple.

An oil-induct hole might be-mael'ethrough the Cap and abutment and the centre-pin, so as to lead into the passage a of such pin, but as the centre-pin is screwed-into the inner end of the capQs. rotarymoveme-ntwof the pin while screwing it up wouldlv-"e*,li-lt-'ely-ti cut off the communication between its oil-passage andthe passage of the abutment, therefore I prefer to extend the head-of the 'pin beyond the abutment, so esto enable meto make the induct in the said heacl in the'manner described. lf-' I Y g l I claim, in a roller-temple, the centre-pin, as extended-beyond the trough-`nead, as set'forth, and proxzliilorl with passages leading into the extension, and through the pin, substantially as and for the purpose specified.

I also' claim, in a roller-temple, the centre-pin, as maile with an oiling-passage made through it lengthwise, and opening out of the side of tliepi r t EUCIUs BRIGGS,
